This time Mary went for the walking shoes rather than the boots for the benefit of the protruding titanium screw - that worked much better.
Rydal Beck
The walk started gently then got steeper and steeper.
The winding path soon turned into a steep scramble.
View from Heron Pike
Half way up we stopped for a photo opportunity.
Rydal Water
After the steep climb the ridge eased off for the long slog up to the highest point.
Ascent to the top
No pub at the halfway point here - it was a picnic lunch at the top which was like Piccadilly Circus with walkers, dog and small children milling in all directions.
Rydal Fell - view from Fairfield
Starting the descent the views are spectacular.
The final leg
So much nicer to be going downhill but it does exercise a different group of muscles.
Heading back towards Ambleside
A long day finished off by a quiet meal in and an early night for our aching muscles.
